Can anyone recommend what shims to use for a Tekin T-120 servo? Or what other brand servos have similar dimensions? Or do I just need to get the servo link as close to parallel to the drag link as possible?

Yes you are trying to get steering linkage from the servo to the drag link at 90' to the chassis when looking from above.

OK. Looks like a lot of stuff different than my AC:
Rear hubs
Rear Axles
Shock Towers
Pills and possibly hangars?
Inner bearings for the rear hubs
Shock pistons
Already have the brass front pivot block thankfully. Are the things mentioned above available yet?

Here is a 22 5.0 AC setup sheet (without the ELITE parts).

You can use standard pistons, and go up 5wt front and rear. You can also make pistons with a few minutes and a dremel.

Shock towers have been available since early this year.

The Hub/axle/arm/bearing/hardware all come in TLR334069, so you only need one item. It should be available in 2 weeks or less.

That’s what I thought. Thanks.

Is this the correct brass C block to be used with the new Adjustable Pivot Set?

Yes that is the correct C block to be used with the adjustable pivot.

Anyone else having the diff loosening up and thrust screw backing out, diff barking and being ruined? have had to rebuild the diff 5 times in as many months, no matter hiw much I check the diff for correct setting, it seems to back off and bark in the middle of a race, seems like the thrust spring doesn't hold enough tension or something like that.

I'm debating either buying an Elite, or upgrading my 5.0 SR. If I were to go the upgrade route, I think the first thing would be the Adjustable Pivot Set C&D. Will this work independently of the VHA Conversion, or is it a situation where I have to do both in order for everything to fit correctly?

It would be more expensive to buy an elite and add the light weight drive line that the SR comes with, vs upgrading your current SR with the VHA and new pivot set.

Are you running a slipper?
Do you break in your diff after a rebuild?
Does your track have loose dirt?
